Double-digit growth supports Synopsys Inc. stock
Synopsys Inc., a leading provider of electronic design automation and semiconductor IP, has underpinned the current valuation with solid results from its most recent reported quarter in fiscal 2026, which showed double-digit year-on-year revenue growth and expanding margins compared with the prior-year period, according to the company and recent coverage from financial portals in early September 2026.
According to Simply Wall St in its analysis published in mid-September 2026, the latest quarterly numbers beat market expectations and support an average analyst price target of USD 544.97, implying upside from the recent share price level of around USD 415.94 used in that review.
Analyst targets point to further upside
Analysts have become more constructive on Synopsys Inc. stock in recent weeks, highlighting the company’s combination of consistent top-line growth and robust profitability in its core design software and IP licensing businesses.
According to Simply Wall St in its mid-September 2026 overview, the average analyst price target of USD 544.97 stands roughly 30% above the recent trading level referenced in the article, with the highest target around USD 633.00 and the lowest near USD 414.77, indicating a generally positive stance but also a spread of views on valuation.
The same analysis notes that several fair-value estimates from the Simply Wall St community cluster between USD 513.66 and USD 544.97, broadly in line with the analyst consensus and supporting the idea that, at current prices in the high USD 300s to low USD 400s, Synopsys Inc. stock still trades at a discount to those targets.
